This guide was produced by Teamed, which is one of the three providers scored below on the same six-axis rubric as Remote and Globalization Partners. We don't crown an overall winner. We score all three honestly, concede where the others lead, and say plainly when Remote or G-P is the better fit.
Remote vs Globalization Partners: which is better for international hiring?
No single winner. We scored Remote, Globalization Partners (G-P) and Teamed on a published six-axis rubric.

What is the Remote vs Globalization Partners matchup?
Remote and Globalization Partners (G-P) both let you hire internationally without setting up your own entity, but they're built for different buyers. Remote is a dedicated Employer of Record with published pricing from $599 per employee per month, an owned entity across its core EOR countries, and a polished self-serve platform. G-P is the analyst-decorated enterprise incumbent with 180+ country reach, 40+ in-country legal experts, 200+ global partners and one of the deepest compliance certification stacks in the category. G-P bundles owned entities and partners together in its coverage claim; independent reviews put its active owned-entity operations closer to 125 markets, so treat 180+ as reach rather than an owned-entity count.
The practical difference is price transparency and support access. Remote publishes a base price and discloses a variable FX spread on salary conversions, even if the spread is not zero markup. G-P publishes no EOR price and routes base-tier support through its G-P Assist AI assistant, with named HR and legal access reserved for the higher Prime tier. Neither models the month your own entity starts to beat EOR or offers a structured path to get there. This rubric applies equally to Teamed, who produced this guide.
Methodology
How we scored this comparison
Three providers are scored 1 to 5 on six axes, with no weighted total and no overall winner. Different providers lead different columns. Teamed is scored on exactly the same axes as Remote and Globalization Partners.
- Pricing transparency
- Whether the all-in cost, the fee, the deposit, onboarding and offboarding or termination charges, is stated up front and predictable. Scored on clarity, not on price level: a flat fee you can read beats a lower headline with unstated setup and exit terms. FX is one clause of that test, not the whole frame.
- Coverage and compliance depth
- Depth and legal robustness of in-country coverage: the owned-entity versus partner structure behind the network, the size and reach of the in-country HR and legal team, and how fast a real employment-law expert responds when a hard local case comes up.
- Platform and self-serve
- Product surface, self-serve flows, integration and API depth for teams that want to run international hiring and HR themselves, at scale.
- Security and certifications
- ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II held today, the certifications a procurement or security review asks to see, checked against each provider on 22 July 2026.
- Service model and employment intelligence
- Ongoing human employment expertise plus AI assistance across the lifecycle: whether real HR and legal experts own the hard moments directly, and how well the system flags a crossover point before it reaches you.
- Path to your own entity
- Whether the provider moves you from contractor to EOR to your own entity on one system, flags the crossover point, and can set up the entity through a service like Global Entity & Employment Operations (GEMO).
How we gathered evidence
The six axes are pricing transparency, coverage and compliance depth, platform and self-serve, security and certifications, service model and employment intelligence, and the path to your own entity. Remote pricing was verified from remote.com/pricing on 18 June 2026. G-P pricing was verified from globalization-partners.com/employer-of-record-solutions/ and globalization-partners.com/eor-prime/ on 18 June 2026; no EOR per-employee price is published by G-P so we say so explicitly. Security reflects each provider's current published ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II status, re-checked 22 July 2026 against G-P's own trust portal and Remote's certification pages. G2 ratings were accessed 18 June 2026 (G-P's rating and review count re-checked 22 July 2026). Entity model and coverage claims come from each provider's own pages. Teamed's claims come from teamed.global.

Scored 1–5 on each criterion from the published rubric above. The highlighted cell leads that column. Teamed is scored on exactly the same criteria as every other provider.
#1
Remote
Best for: teams that want a dedicated, polished EOR product with published pricing, an owned entity across its core markets and disclosed FX terms on salary conversions.
Remote is the product-led choice in this comparison. It owns its entity across roughly 90 core EOR countries, extends total reach to 190+ locations through local partners, and runs a polished self-serve platform. It leads the platform and self-serve column on this rubric, alongside a strong benefits and IP-protection product.
On pricing, Remote publishes its rate at $599 per employee per month on annual billing ($699 month to month), so buyers can compare without a sales call. It also discloses that it applies a variable FX spread above mid-market on salary conversions and shows the rate used on the monthly invoice. That is more transparent than G-P's silence on FX, though the spread is still above mid-market rather than zero markup, so Remote ties Teamed on pricing transparency rather than leading it outright.
Remote holds ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II today, tying G-P at the top of the security column, a column Teamed concedes. The gaps are advisory depth and the forward path. Standard support runs through self-serve flows for most situations, with less emphasis on a dedicated HR and legal expert for hard edge cases than an expert-first model, and no published crossover modelling from EOR to your own entity exists.
- Countries
- 190+ locations; owns its entity across roughly 90 core EOR countries, extended via local partners
- Entity model
- Owned-entity led in its core markets, extended via local partners for broader reach
- Onboarding
- Days, with a dedicated onboarding specialist on the EOR plan
- Contractors
- Yes, from $29/contractor/month, with tiered indemnity options
- Pricing
- $599/month on annual billing ($699 month to month) · verified 2026-07-22
- G2
- 4.6/5 (591)
Strengths
- Leads the platform and self-serve column on this rubric. Owns its entity across roughly 90 core EOR countries, with no third-party employer in those markets, and extends total reach to 190+ locations via local partners.
- Published pricing from $599 per employee per month on annual billing ($699 month to month), with no setup or onboarding fees. Ties Teamed on pricing transparency, both well ahead of G-P's quote-only model.
- Holds ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II today, tying G-P at the top of the security column on this rubric, a column Teamed concedes.
- A dedicated onboarding specialist and a named Customer Success Manager are included in the EOR plan, backed by in-house HR, legal and tax experts with ten years average experience on the team.
Watch-outs
- The $599 headline requires annual billing. The month-to-month rate is $699, so the comparable price depends on the billing commitment you can make upfront.
- The disclosed FX spread is variable and above mid-market, not zero markup. It is more transparent than G-P, but the variable charge on salary conversions still adds to the real cost beyond the headline.
- Advisory support for hard employment-law edge cases is lighter than an expert-first model. Self-serve is the default, and no crossover modelling from EOR to your own entity is published.

#2
Globalization Partners
Best for: large enterprises where reach, a deep compliance certification stack, analyst recognition and native Workday and SAP integrations matter more than published pricing, self-serve speed or a readable invoice.
Globalization Partners (G-P) is the analyst-decorated enterprise incumbent in this comparison. It markets 180+ country reach, 200+ global partners and claims the largest in-country HR, legal and compliance team in the category with 40+ legal experts, delivered through a mix of owned entities and an extensive partner network. G-P does not publish a clean owned-only country count, and independent reviews put its active owned-entity operations closer to 125 markets, so treat the 180+ figure as reach rather than an owned-entity tally. That breadth and legal-team depth lead the coverage and compliance column on this rubric.
Its compliance and security certification stack ties Remote at the top of the security column: ISO/IEC 27001, 27017, 27018, 42001 and SOC 2 Type II, all available on a self-serve trust portal. It also integrates natively with Workday, SAP SuccessFactors, ADP Workforce Now, BambooHR, HiBob and Personio. For an enterprise running any of those stacks, G-P embeds without a custom integration project.
The cost and support story is the main gap. G-P publishes no EOR per-employee price on any of its own pages: its Core and Prime tiers carry no figures, and all pricing routes through a demo or sales call. Core customers access G-P via the G-P Assist AI assistant; a dedicated Customer Success Manager and direct access to G-P HR and Legal Teams are reserved for the higher Prime tier. G-P positions EOR as the durable structure and offers no crossover path from EOR to your own entity, so it concedes the lifecycle column outright.
- Countries
- 180+ reach via a mix of owned entities and an extensive partner network (active owned entities reported closer to 125 markets)
- Entity model
- Mixed: the broadest reach claim in this comparison; no clean owned-only country split published
- Onboarding
- Enterprise-paced; base support AI-led via G-P Assist
- Contractors
- Yes, self-serve at $39/contractor/month via Wise for payments
- Pricing
- Quote-only; no per-employee EOR price published. Contractor product at $39/contractor/month · verified 2026-07-22
- G2
- 4.4/5 (936)
Strengths
- 180+ country reach, 200+ global partners and 40+ in-country HR, legal and compliance experts, the broadest coverage claim in this comparison. Leads the coverage and compliance column on this rubric.
- Ties Remote at the top of the security column with one of the deepest compliance and security certification stacks in the category: ISO/IEC 27001, 27017, 27018, 42001 and SOC 2 Type II, all on a self-serve trust portal. Enterprise procurement and legal reviews pass it quickly.
- Native integration with Workday, SAP SuccessFactors, ADP Workforce Now and ADP TotalSource, plus BambooHR, HiBob, Personio, UKG Pro and TriNet. For a buyer running any of those stacks, G-P connects without a custom integration project.
- A transparent, self-serve contractor product at $39 per contractor per month, with Wise-powered payments in 130+ currencies, AI misclassification checks across 40+ countries and no need for a sales call to get started.
Watch-outs
- Publishes no EOR per-employee price on any of its own pages. Comparing G-P to Remote or Teamed on cost requires a demo: you cannot budget it without a sales conversation.
- Base-tier support routes through the G-P Assist AI assistant. A dedicated CSM, quarterly account reviews and direct access to G-P HR and Legal Teams are reserved for the higher Prime tier, with no published price for either tier.
- No structured path from EOR to your own entity. G-P positions EOR as the durable alternative to owning one, so it concedes the lifecycle column on this rubric outright.

Teamed
Us, scored on the same rubricBest for: rapidly growing companies with an international footprint that want a real HR or legal expert on every plan without a support tier to unlock, an itemised FX rate shown against mid-market, and one partner from first contractor to their own entity.
Teamed produced this guide and is scored on exactly the same six axes as Remote and Globalization Partners. Teamed delivers through a mix of 57 owned entities and vetted local partners across its 187+ country footprint, backed by DLA Piper as global counsel. Real HR and legal experts handle hard local edge cases directly, a contested termination, a benefits dispute, a works-council-style consultation, wherever a market gets complicated, with no AI bot wall and no support tier to unlock. That advisory depth ties G-P on the coverage and compliance column, which G-P otherwise leads on raw reach.
The wedge is honesty on cost. Teamed shows the applied FX rate against the mid-market reference on every invoice and absorbs it at zero markup on a flat $599 USD (£479 GBP) per employee per month fee. Remote discloses a variable spread that is still above mid-market; G-P publishes no FX terms for its EOR product at all. Teamed ties Remote on pricing transparency; it does not claim to be the cheapest option in this comparison, only the most readable one.
Teamed is not trying to replace your HR stack. It plugs into the tools you already run and moves you from your first contractor to EOR to your own entity on one system, with no re-onboarding. Global Entity & Employment Operations (GEMO) sets up and runs your own entity in 100+ countries when the crossover makes sense, and Teamed proactively models the month that crossover arrives, leading the lifecycle column here. The platform itself is lighter than a self-serve HRIS by design, and ISO 27001 and SOC 2 are aligned with accreditation in progress rather than held today, so Teamed concedes both the platform and security columns.
- Countries
- 187+ countries covered (own entities in 57 countries including Germany, France and the UK; vetted partners elsewhere)
- Entity model
- Mixed: own entities in 57 countries backed by DLA Piper as global counsel, plus vetted local partners; sets up and runs your own entity in 100+ countries via GEMO
- Onboarding
- As little as 24 to 48 hours, with real expert support through the transition
- Contractors
- Yes, with misclassification cover (Guard / Protect)
- Pricing
- $599 USD / £479 GBP per employee per month, flat, FX absorbed at zero markup · verified 2026-07-22
- G2
- 4.8/5
Strengths
- Shows the applied FX rate against the mid-market reference and absorbs it at zero markup on a flat fee. Remote discloses a variable spread that is still above mid-market; G-P publishes no FX terms at all. Teamed ties Remote on the pricing transparency column.
- Real HR and legal experts, backed by DLA Piper as global counsel and vetted in-country partners across the 57 countries where Teamed owns the entity, handle hard local edge cases directly. No AI bot wall and no support tier to unlock. Ties G-P on the coverage and compliance column.
- One partner from first contractor to EOR to your own entity, on one system with no re-onboarding. GEMO sets up and runs your own entity in 100+ countries; Teamed proactively models the month EOR stops making sense. Teamed leads the lifecycle column.
- Rated 4.8 on G2 for service, with a focused advisory model built for growing teams rather than an enterprise upsell ladder. Teamed leads the service model and employment intelligence column.
Watch-outs
- Lighter self-serve platform and shallower API depth than Remote or G-P for teams that want full dashboard control. Concedes the platform column by design; the model is advisory-first, not self-serve-first.
- ISO 27001 and SOC 2 are aligned with accreditation in progress, not yet held the way Remote and G-P hold them today. Concedes the security column; buyers with a strict certification requirement should check current status with each provider.
- Smaller brand and review base than Remote or G-P. A procurement team that needs a widely recognised enterprise name for sign-off may push back.

Why the shortlist matters
Behind every line item is a real person, in a real place.
The fee, the FX and the support model are not abstractions. They decide whether the person you hired in Barcelona or Rome is paid right, on time, by someone who knows their employment law. That is what the ranking is really measuring.
What each stakeholder evaluates
| Criterion | Legal | Finance | People Ops | Security |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pricing you can read before you sign | Ask for FX policy in writing from both. Remote discloses a variable spread above mid-market; confirm the mechanism before signing. G-P publishes no FX terms for its EOR product. Ask G-P directly whether a pre-funding or deposit requirement applies and get the figure in writing. | Remote's $599 annual base is comparable without a sales call; the variable FX charge adds to the real cost. G-P requires a demo before you see any number. Third-party reports indicate a G-P pre-funding model of roughly one to two months of gross salary per employee, not published on its own pages. Teamed removes the variable entirely at zero markup on the fee. | An itemised FX line on every invoice removes per-country reconciliation work. Remote shows the rate after the fact; Teamed shows it against the mid-market reference on every invoice and absorbs it at zero markup. | A timestamped applied rate shown against a public mid-market reference is an auditable record. A disclosed variable spread is more auditable than unpublished terms, but less clean than zero markup. |
| Coverage and compliance depth vs certification and platform maturity | G-P has the broadest reach claim in this comparison, 180+ countries and 40+ in-country legal experts, though its active owned entities are reported closer to 125 markets. Remote owns its entity in roughly 90 core countries with no third-party employer in those markets. Ask each provider whether your specific country sits on an owned entity or a partner. | G-P is built for enterprise governance: Workday, SAP and ADP integrations sit ready, and its certification stack passes procurement reviews quickly. Remote's per-employee published pricing makes budgeting straightforward without a sales call. G-P requires a sales cycle before any cost figure is available. | Remote leads on platform and self-serve polish in this comparison. G-P is more enterprise-paced with base support led by its AI assistant. Real human HR and legal advisory ties Teamed and G-P on this rubric, both ahead of the standard tier at Remote. | G-P and Remote both hold current ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II certifications, tying at the top of the security column. Teamed is aligned with accreditation in progress and concedes this column for now. |
| Path from EOR to your own entity | Neither Remote nor G-P offers a structured EOR-to-entity crossover modelling product. Remote provides an entity setup service without crossover modelling. G-P actively positions EOR as the durable alternative to owning your own entities. | Neither Remote nor G-P models the month EOR stops making sense for your unit economics. If that matters, ask each for an explicit crossover number. | Teamed is built to flag the crossover and move you there. GEMO sets up and runs your own entity in 100+ countries on the same system with no re-onboarding. It is the only provider in this comparison with a structural incentive to tell you when EOR no longer fits. | Migrating from EOR to your own entity changes the data controller chain in every affected country. The cleaner that migration, the simpler the privacy review. |
Decision checklist
- Read the small print before you sign. Most EORs require a deposit and many layer on setup, offboarding, minimum-term, no-exit, termination or admin fees. Teamed takes a one-month refundable deposit, charges no onboarding or offboarding fees (an early-exit fee may apply if you leave within 3 months, set out in your contract), and sets the costs out up front.
- Choose on pricing transparency if a salary invoice you can read matters most. Teamed and Remote tie here: Teamed absorbs FX at zero markup against the mid-market reference, Remote discloses a variable spread and publishes its base rate. G-P publishes no EOR price at all.
- Choose on coverage and compliance depth if breadth and a large in-country legal team matter most. G-P leads here with 180+ country reach and 40+ in-country experts, though its active owned entities sit closer to 125 markets than its marketed reach. Teamed ties on depth through real HR and legal experts backed by DLA Piper across its 57 owned-entity countries.
- Choose on platform and self-serve if you want to run international hiring yourself. Remote leads this column with a polished, self-serve product. Teamed concedes it by design, being advisory-first rather than dashboard-first.
- Choose on security and certifications if your procurement review needs ISO 27001 or SOC 2 in hand today. Remote and G-P both hold current certifications and tie at the top of this column. Teamed is aligned with accreditation in progress, so it concedes this column for now.
- Choose on the service model and employment intelligence, and on the path to your own entity, if ongoing human expertise and a route off EOR matter most. Teamed leads both: real HR and legal experts on every plan with no AI bot wall, and Global Entity & Employment Operations (GEMO) to set up your own entity when the crossover makes sense.
- Choose Remote if you want a published base price, a polished platform with owned entities across its core markets, and disclosed FX terms, and annual billing is fine.
- Choose G-P if you are a large enterprise where reach, certification depth, analyst recognition and native Workday and SAP integrations outweigh published pricing or speed.
- Ask every provider the same two questions before signing. First: can you reach a real person with employment-law experience when a termination goes wrong, or does it route to an AI assistant? Second: does your specific country sit on an owned entity or a partner in the network?
Honest take
When Remote or Globalization Partners is the better fit.
- Choose Remote over Teamed if you want a polished self-serve platform, a mature benefits offering, an owned entity across its core markets, and annual billing is fine. Remote leads the platform and self-serve column on this rubric and ties Teamed on pricing.
- Choose G-P over Teamed if you are a large enterprise where certification depth, analyst recognition, native Workday and SAP integrations, and 180+ country reach matter most, and cost transparency is secondary. G-P leads the coverage and compliance column.
- Choose Remote or G-P if a large, recognised brand matters for procurement sign-off, or you need ISO 27001 or SOC 2 in hand today rather than in progress.
- Teamed earns its weight for growing companies with multiple countries or hard employment-law edge cases. One hire in a single market with no expansion plans may be better served by a simpler self-serve platform.
Teamed leads the service model and employment intelligence column and the path to your own entity on this rubric, and ties Remote on pricing transparency and G-P on coverage and compliance depth. It concedes platform to Remote and security to both Remote and G-P. A buyer with different priorities should choose accordingly. We'd rather lose the deal than mismatch the engagement.
Frequently asked questions
Remote vs Globalization Partners: which is better for international hiring?
It depends on what you are buying. Remote is better for a team that wants a published base price, a polished platform with an owned entity across its core markets, and disclosed FX terms. G-P is better for large enterprises where reach, 40+ in-country legal experts, certification depth, analyst recognition and native Workday and SAP integrations outweigh the need for a published price or self-serve speed. Remote and G-P tie on security, both holding ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II today. For a company where cost transparency, real HR and legal expertise on every plan, and a path to your own entity matter, Teamed is the disclosed alternative scored on the same six-axis rubric. There is no overall winner.Does Globalization Partners publish its EOR pricing?
No. G-P publishes no per-employee EOR price on any of its own pages. Its EOR comes in two named tiers, Core and Prime, but neither carries a public price figure. All EOR pricing routes through a demo request or sales call. Only its contractor product carries a transparent public price, starting at $39 per contractor per month. Third-party roundups have estimated G-P EOR in the range of $600 to over $1,000 per employee per month, but those figures do not appear on any G-P primary page.Does Remote publish its FX terms?
Yes, in part. Remote discloses that it applies a variable FX spread above mid-market on salary conversions and shows the rate used on the monthly invoice. The spread is variable, so the exact charge changes with the rate at time of conversion. No percentage is published. The mechanism is more transparent than G-P, which publishes no FX terms for its EOR product. Teamed shows the applied rate against the mid-market reference on every invoice and absorbs FX at zero markup on the fee.What is the difference between G-P EOR Core and G-P EOR Prime?
Core gives you G-P's essential technology, HR tools and EOR coverage in 180+ countries, with 24/7 support through the G-P Assist AI assistant. Prime adds a dedicated Customer Success Manager, quarterly account reviews, direct access to G-P HR and Legal Teams, and custom report development. Some capabilities are available to Core customers as paid add-ons, including recruiting services, equity payroll management, background checks and visa support. Neither tier carries a published price; both route through sales.How do Remote, G-P and Teamed handle complex, high-protection labour markets?
Some countries add real complexity to an EOR relationship: strict notice and termination rules, works-council-style consultation requirements, or heavy statutory documentation. Germany is a commonly cited example, but the same pattern shows up in France, Italy, Belgium and elsewhere. Remote owns its entity in many of its core markets and handles those cases in-house. G-P covers most markets through a mix of owned entities and partners, with its AI assistant for base support and human HR and legal access reserved for the higher Prime tier. Teamed owns entities in 57 countries, backs them with DLA Piper as global counsel and vetted in-country partners, so real HR and legal experts handle the hard local edge cases directly on every plan, with no higher tier to unlock. For any complex market, ask a provider not just whether the country is on their list, but who actually handles a contested termination or a works-council-style consultation, and what their track record looks like.How was this comparison scored, and who made it?

Common questions
What is the difference between Remote and Globalization Partners?
Remote is a dedicated Employer of Record built on an owned entity across its core EOR countries, with published pricing from $599 per employee per month and a polished self-serve product. It discloses a variable FX spread on salary conversions rather than concealing it. Globalization Partners is the analyst-decorated enterprise incumbent with 180+ country reach, 40+ in-country legal experts, 200+ global partners and a deep compliance and security certification stack, though its active owned entities are reported closer to 125 markets rather than a clean owned-only count. It publishes no EOR price and routes base-tier support through the G-P Assist AI tool, with named human HR and legal access reserved for the higher Prime tier. Remote and G-P tie on security, both holding ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II. Remote leads platform and self-serve; G-P leads coverage and compliance depth. Teamed, who produced this guide, leads service model and employment intelligence and the lifecycle to your own entity, and ties Remote on pricing transparency.Should I use Remote or Globalization Partners for global hiring?
Use Remote for a published base price, a polished platform with an owned entity across its core markets, and more FX transparency than G-P. Use G-P for large-enterprise coverage depth, analyst recognition, 180+ country reach, and native Workday and SAP integrations, where cost transparency is secondary and a sales cycle is acceptable. Use Teamed when cost transparency and real HR and legal expertise on every plan are non-negotiable: it absorbs FX at zero markup, shows the rate against mid-market on every invoice, and moves you from contractor to EOR to your own entity on one system.
